[QUOTE="altyboy, post: 1465985, member: 565175"] Hey guys, I have a Pioneer 5500mp that I've been running for a few years now. It's been repaired once a few months back for 'bad ground tracks' by some local auth Pioneer repair shop. I'm using a DEI1100d for the subs and USAcoustics 2100 2 channel for the midbasses. Anyway, I installed a DEI1100d yesterday. No wiring changes, just pulled the wires from the Profile CA800 and installed them on the DEI. Everything sounded great. Today, while driving around town, I get out of the van and 10mins later, I get back in and notice no bass. I pull over and see that the USAcoustics power strip is not lit up and the protection light is on the DEI. I have 12v+ from the battery/fuse breaker/distro block up until the amps. Each amp only reads 4.59v. However, I pulled the remote leads from each amp out of curiosity and then each amp reads 12.37v (though the DMM takes awhile to get from 11v to 12.37 on the DEI while it reads 12.37 immediately on the other amp,odd?). So what's up with the HU that's causing something w/the remote wires to kill the amps input voltage?? I like the HU, but I'm not sure if I want this shop to work on it again... Jeremy [/QUOTE]
